Noodles and Shrimp

Method

Prepare the Broth

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the lemongrass stalk (bruised with a knife), sliced galangal or ginger, fish sauce, lime leaves, and chili paste to the pot.

  3. 3

    Season the Broth

    Add salt to the mixture. Bring the pot to a simmer over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Broth

    Let the broth simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Cook the Noodles and Shrimp

  1. 5

    Prepare Rice Noodles

    While the broth simmers, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  2. 6
